Sometimes I Forget to Remember

Sometimes I forget to remember to breathe. To take the time to stop and gather my thoughts. To look at what is where and what needs to be done.

Sometimes I forget to remember that my children are only little and they need deserve the patience of a saint. There is so much for them to learn, so much for them to know. Societies accepted norms, trends, beliefs and expectations
Sometimes I forget to remember that there are lots of people who love and care for me. People who have stood by me for a very long time, despite my unintentional attempts at shutting them out. As well as some newbies that have shown they are interested in the test of time.
Sometimes I forget to remember that there was once a time when I wasn't a mother. In fact I wasn't lots of things then that I am now. Shy. Reserved. Totally about to hit it big in the world of blogging. (I have always been full of confidence a dreamer)

Sometimes I forget to remember that this is the life that I want to live. It has all that I need and a whole lot more. It has the potential to be what ever I want it to be. I just need to put in the effort.

Sometimes I forget to remember to tell those close to me just how special they are and what they mean to me. The whole emotion thing gets a bit tricky for me at times. I don't know why. I can't help but wonder if that is why I the whole friend thing doesn't seem to work so well for me. Life is not one sided.

Sometimes I forget to remember to trust in the powers that be. They have worked well for me in the past and I am sure they will continue to do so in the future, I just need to believe.

Sometimes I forget to remember to ask for help when I need it. Or take it when it is freely offered. Accepting, or needing help is not a sign of weakness. Help is a wonderful thing. It makes things better for those being helped as well as leaving those offering with a rather good feeling.

Sometimes I forget to remember just how much I know. While I might not have a fancy degree I have actually spent quite a bit of time studying various subjects. Stuff like sociology, marketing, accounting, psychology. Stuff that is at times a little handy for this whole mothering gig.

Sometimes I forget to remember just how much I don't know. There is so much that I need to go and discover. So much to learn, share and discover. And this I must remember to never forget.
